[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 93627, member: 9"] PVC Schedule 40, especially Schedule 80 may work for a while if not in direct sunlight or cattle are not "pushy" feeders. The Schedule 40 UL Listed gray colored PVC (sunlight exposure electrical conduit use) is considerably more sunlight resistant. There are 4-Way (aka "Cross") fittings as well as 45 deg fittings. Could also use some 22.5 deg fittings in Galvanized or Schedule 80 PVC I think?? Spears is one manufacturer. Another "professional grade" fitting manufacturer is "Lasco". There are others out there too. Just make sure you do not buy any of those "mfg. seconds" or "off brands" (aftermarket, foreign made) fittings that may or may not hold up or the inside fitting dimensions may not be exact to USA pipe specifications. For sturdiness, I would go with at least 2" dia. PVC, preferably Schedule 80 if using the "white" PVC water pipe. [/QUOTE]
